This week you got a big helping of garlic scapes. Enough to make a nice garlic scape pesto or aeoli. They are also fun to grill. They will last a few weeks in the fridge or can be pickled, so you can also just add them to tuna or other protein based salads as well as pasta salads.
Green top beets are here! Same as green top carrots and salad turnips, you will want to remove the tops from the roots for storage and both are edible.

Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese.

Cheese curds again! I know they are a big favorite for snacking around here, so I hope you don’t mind two weeks in a row of them!
The aged cheese this week in Lyra. This one is creamy and has fruity notes from the rind being washed in red wine several times during the aging process. It’s lovely just on a cheese plate or charcuterie board, but it also is super melty on a burger or in a grilled cheese.

Recipes.

Garlic Scape Pesto - Packs a punch! Put it on pasta, pizza, or sandwiches. It freezes well, too! Feel free to substitute walnuts, almonds, or even sunflower seeds for the pine nuts in the recipe.
Pickled Garlic Scapes
Sauteed Beet Greens
Raw Citrus Beet Salad - do I peel the beets when I make this salad? no.
